STRONG FIGHT AGAINST
THE FEDERAL RESERVE
The Federal Reserve Banks ai'e en
countering many difficulties,in enforc
ing tii&r arbitrary ruling down the
throaty of the small banks,, of the
country.
Mr. Henry A. Page Jr., Treasurer
of the Pag© Trust Company of Aber
deen, N. C., is leading a strong fight
against them and it promises to be a
winning fight
The State banks have organized the
Hankers Protective Association ol
North Carolina. Mr. R. G. HarrisoV
Vice I'reiident of the Fanners and
Merchanti Hunk is u member of the
Executive' Committee from the First
l)i)trict and they have procured the
passage of the bill through the Legis
lature which seems to be blocking the
game of the Federal Reserve Banks.
The followly article from Mr. I'age
together witn the opinions of the
Honorable Carter Class, Secretary of
the Treasury, also creator of the Fed
eral Reserve System and attorney-gen
eral Palmer would indicate that the
Federal Reserve Banks have to
give ear to some one besides the Wall
St reet Hankres.
February 10th, 1921.
"Mr. Wheelwright, of the Federal
Reserve Bank, together with an as
sistant brought along, we suppose, to
carry back the cash, arrived in town
from Richmond this morning with a
boul ten thousand dollars worth of
checks drawn on us.
As soon as the hank was open, he
presented these at the wndow, and
demanded cash. We refused to pa>
cash, as perm tied by our state law,
and offered him exchange drawn on
Richmond. This he refused to take
We notified and warned him that for
every check which he returnrvl unpaid
we and our customer would instituti
separate suits for damages becaus*
of injury to our credit and reputation,
as we had complied with every provis
ion of the state law.
We also advised him that an in
junction hail eben served on the Fed
eral Reserve Hank, anil that this in
junction held against him a.s their a
gent, and we notified him not to re
turn those checks unpaid. However,
inasmuch as we had, up to that time,
lnVh unable to .serve the injunction
on him personally he took the check
anil has probably returned them ti
the Federal Reserve Bank.
» In the meantime, we had arranged
to have the injunction served on him,
and when he arrived at Hamlet, foi
the purpose of presenting checks o>
the banks at that point, we had tin
Sheriff of the county qn ljand ami
Wheelwright was served with the in
junction. -He -appealed greatly dis
turbed over this procedure, and state
that he Wfis una hi 14 to present thi
checks he had on the banks, l>c«us
his orders were from the Federal Re
serve Hank to return the cheeks i
no tremitteil for in cash, find he w-a
on the other hand esstoppenl by the
injunction from doing this in case th
hanks at that point refused to remi'
in cash to him.
Personally, we do not in the least
mind having the batch of g'
bnek. Some one hail to mak ea test
case of it, and we feel honored thn*
we were chosen. Our customers un
ile.r tand what we are after in thi > -
fight, and will support us. We can
count on them to jojn with us in suits
against the Federal Reserve.
We do not fear an yconseqilences in
this fight with the Federal Reserve
Hank. Even though We did not have
the protection afforded by the injunc
tion we would still decline to ever pay
a check jn cash over the window as
long as their agents tried to force us
to do so.
Our banks are in this fight to stay

Information
The Collector of Internal Revenue
has given out the following informa
tion with regard to the filing of in
come tax reports:
"1 desire to impress upon every
partnership, personal service corpora
tion, or fii.'.ciary, the importance of
filing forms 1096 and 1099 wit
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Sorting Section, Washington, I>. >
These forms are required to be file
in Washington, D.C., on or before
March T5, 1921 by any partnership,
pers nal service corporation, or fiduc
iary that paid to any individual part
nership, perosnal service corporation
or fiduciary during the year of 1920
salary, wages commissions, etc., of $1
(MX).OO or more. Of coure all indi
viduals or corporations thut paid sal
aries of $1,000.00 or more during the
year 1920 ait' required to file forms
1096 and 1099.
In addition to reporting the pay
ments set forth above, every partner
ship, personal service corporation ami
fiduciary must tile a form 1099 fo'i
each member of the partnership or
personal service corporation or each
beneficiary showing the distributee
shares ot the memebrs or benefidar
ies .whether or not actually distrib
uted. These amounts are required to
be reported on the basis of the caj
endar year.
The forms 1099 will show payments
individually and a summary should l»
prepared on form 109(5.
The fonns may he the
various division offices in the state
or direct from my office at Raleigh.
FARMERS AMI FERTILIZERS
| The farmers, of Eastern Carolina
have come to the conclusion that they
cannot raise crops without commercial
fertilizers. Still we are told that the
prices arc too low because they* have
raised too big a crop. The farmer,
therefore, finds himself unable to pa>
for the guano he houghht last spring
with the proceeds derived from the
clop he harvested last fall.
Will it be wise to buy as much fer
tilizer this spring as we did the last
spring with the hope of paying for it
with the crop produced by it when we
are alrcridy advised that we have :i
surplus df all money crops, suhc as
cotton and tobacco? The old theory
of a sure net profit though it be small
lis the'-onlv safe principle. Jt makes
I ~
no difference how much is made in any
I kind of business if it costs more to
make it than it »sells for, the business
cannot live. Buy less fertilizer, cut
tivate belter crops and get! clearer
profits, should be the slogan. By the
proper diversification and-rotation- of
crops the soil will not lose in fertil
ity.

lower this year than last. We have

load lots. And fanners as well a
merchants should be careful in con
tracts this year.
Reserve Act:
"The Congress , has not control
whatsoever over non member banks.
It cannot regulate their charges. Thin
House has no control over non-mem
ber banks in this matter (exchange)
Even the Federal Reserve Board has
no control over their operations un
less they voluntarily join the volun
tary collection system established by
I the Federal Reserve Board. No non
member bank that does not Voluntar
ily join the collection system e.stnb
lished by the Federal Reserve Board
will be specifically affected. No lav
that we can pass here ran directly af
-feet them.*- \The only way they caj.
be affected is incidental."
Opinion of Mr. Palmer, Attorney
General of the United States:
"It thus seems clear that the pro
viso was understood by Congress as
designate*! to protect the clearing
functions of the Federal Reserve bank
and not directed at State banks which
have no connection as members or de
positors with the Federal Reserve
System and upon which it was consid
ered the effect of the proviso cou!
be only incidental. The Federal Rer
nerve Act, however, does not rmv*
mand or compel these State banks ti
forego any rights they may have un
der state laws to make charge in con
nection with the payments of cbm-V
drawh upon them. The act meuMy
offers the clearing and collection/ fa-1
cllities of the Federal Reserve Bank
upon specified conditions. If the St -'
Banks refuse to comply with the con
ditions by insisting upon making
charges against tlie Federal Jtpservr
I Banks, the result will simply l»e, so
I far as the Federal Reserve Aet ir
concerned, that since the Federal Re
serve Bank cannot pay these charge
they cannot clear or collect check
on abnks demanding such payment
from them."

Seasonable
Suggestions
Sowing rape tor bog pasture is well
win lb cousidvialioii, sow live to eight
pounds per wfiv, either in drills or
broadcast, dulling is better since the
hogs Walk in the alleys while graz
ing and itu not trample the rape.
All stock which are to be taken otl
,lhe range • hould have a grass and
clover pasture lor the summer months
-Now is the time to -sow such pas
ture.
Kurly gardening should have iin-|
modiatu attention. It is estimated
that NO pel cent of the living expense
of the family may be taken caro of
by having a year round garden.
During thu. next thirty days evqjy
farmer make preparations for a-sum
mer hay crop. Money is scarce, cred
it is not so cheap, maybe we bettei
get oui hay crops planted.
For large yields on fall oats, top
dress early. Rough manures should
be applied now if not already, (juickh
available nitrates should be applieo
early in March. Thousands of dol
lars have been lost because of ap
plications too late. Spring sown oats
should be top dressed as soon as the
oats have made a good start. Make
sure of your nitrates for this pur
pose.
It yuifliaven't already, finish now,
pruning and spraying the fruit trees.
In the absence of pasture one quar
tor o fan acre in cabbage, stock beets
and si|Uash will carry the ordinary
t'y.i in herd of hogs through the sum
mer months. Try a half plot of early
corn for the table and for feed foi
stock, buy seed now and be ready.
